"Sit by the pond, and enjoy a good book. That's how I envision the center of the city to be. Green grass. Beautiful tall trees. Swans, and birds of all sorts. Baby deer. Libraries are positioned here, in nature. I want the center of the city to literally be the intellectual and spiritual heart of the city. Fully in nature. Including the design of the buildings. This is a place where we go to get back in tune with Nature - or, ideally, if we build these cities right, we'll never be OUT of tune with Her to begin with!.. :)

So like I was saying: ponds, green grass. Rivers and waterfalls. Nature. Beauty. THIS is the place to relax, meditate and study. THIS is the place to discuss spirituality, philosophy, quantum physics, and everything in between.

Think of a place that would be enjoyed by Aristotle, by Socrates, by Lao Tzu.. by Tolstoi. We put THIS in the center of the city - we build from there, from this architectural, intellectual and spiritual MARVEL, OUTWARD!.."
